The behavior of %edit is a lot different than the edit command
we're discussing.

%edit?
...
This command allows you to conveniently edit multi-line code right in
your IPython session.

The command we're discussing in Sage is different:

edit(foo)

for foo a function defined in the Sage library (right now, at least), finds
the original source file that defines foo, and puts you in an editor
to edit that file.  Doing "sage -br", would then build and install the
resulting file.

So they are two fairly different things, with the same name.
